Keith Johnson’s Ultimate Travel Outfit

“My job, my life, is travel,” says New York–based Keith Johnson, whose 16 years as the buyer at large for Anthropologie have taken him from boutiques in Buenos Aires to markets in Bangkok, Cape Town, and beyond. Man Shops Globe—the Sundance Channel series inspired by his shopping expeditions for antique furnishings and found objects for the stores—starts its second season in June. So what matters to a man who’s on the road six months out of the year? “Comfort, and clothing rugged enough to take a lot of abuse. Plus, my trade is seeking out one-of-a-kind wares, so I’d better look the part.”

Jacket

“My waxed-cotton Belstaff motorcycle jacket ($595) is both wind- and water-resistant; it keeps me dry and warm no matter where I am.”

Top

Johnson opts for a soft, textured flannel shirt (45rpm; $372). “It even looks good when it’s wrinkled,” he says—perfect for packing.

Pants

“Everything about these jeans (John Varvatos; $198) is exactly right, from the exposed selvage on the pockets to the perfect dark wash.”

Carry-On

“This is the closest thing to a French antiques fair in the U.K., just outside of London. There are lots of dealers selling French furniture and accessories. And lots of Francophile Brits.” Stains Rd. E., Sunbury on Thames; 44-19/3223-0946; kemptonantiques.com; second and last Tuesday of each month, 6:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
